I finished the SharedWorker implementation in @servo@floss.social
This landed as a series of smaller PRs: WebIDL, worker plumbing, constructor support, connect events, reuse, race fixes, partitioning, blob/data URL fixes, and finally enabling the feature.

As a Servo maintainer, I'd like to remind people that @ServoDev continues to welcome contributions from everyone. We actively mentor newcomers, help people learn Rust and browser engine development, and review community PRs.
Just keep our contribution guidelines in mind, including the AI policy https://book.servo.org/contributing/getting-started.html#ai-contributions
Open source thrives when contributors can participate, learn, and take ownership of their work.
I am working these days on @servo@floss.social
IndexedDB and storage implementation, aligning them with the spec, fixing one WPT at a time, and having a lot of fun!
Been busy reading the Workers spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/workers.html
Soon @servo@floss.social will support SharedWorker. Progress 🚀
I’m cooking up something fun @servo@floss.social
After several years of attending FOSDEM, this year I’m excited to be giving a talk in the Browser and Web Platform dev room!
I’ll be presenting on how we are implementing the Streams Specification in the @servo@floss.social web engine, what we’ve learned, challenges we’ve solved, and what’s next for Servo.
Looking forward to connecting with folks working on Web standards, open source platforms, and browsers!

I hope I can work on @servo@floss.social full-time one day, I have so many ideas, but finding the time to explore them while balancing a full-time job and other commitments is the hard part.
My #FOSDEM 2026 talk is out: @servo@floss.social Streams reimplementation 🎥
Also, I was really happy to meet the Servo team in person at FOSDEM.

I’m starting a small blog series called servo-generational-run, where I’ll write about fixes and feature work I do in @servo@floss.social
First post: Fixing a Servo canvas memory leak.

The @servo@floss.social generational run continues with third article:
Fixing a RefCell borrow panic that caused a crash on facebook.com.

The @servo@floss.social generational run continues with the second article:
Fixing Servo Fetch BYOB response streams
https://taym95.github.io/blog/2026/06/10/fix-servo-fetch-response-body-streams/
Thanks for the report, this helped us fix it and add WPT coverage for that case. If you run into more Servo bugs, keep them coming, happy to help with fixes.
